BY LEAH GERMAIN
THE EUROPEAN Union (EU) alert system for potentially dangerous consumer products, RAPEX has - unusually - warned of recalls for cosmetic products produced in the EU, rather than outside member states. German authorities have issued a sales ban on fingernail-modelling gel from Nail Scout, a German-based company. RAPEX reported a France manufacturer recall of a French baby body wash Klorane Bebe. RAPEX has also reported a Portugal sales ban of an Italian-made hair mask product called Hantesis.
